Girl group T-ara has dressed up in traditional hanboks to greet their fans.

In a recent interview with Star News, Eunjung, Hymoin, Jiyeon, Soyeon, Qri, Boram, and Hwayoung were all present wearing their hanboks and greeting staff with a cheerful appearance.

T-ara said, “Currently, it’s hard to fit a lot into our tight schedules since we’re very active, but we hope we to receive a lot of love. With your friends and family, eating joyfully during the holidays, we hope you have a good time together and can watch T-ara on your TVs.”

Starting in the second half of last year, T-ara has been constantly promoting new songs, dramas, filming CFs, guesting in variety shows and performing in musicals. When asked if they could relax this holiday season, they replied with, “We don’t get a vacation.” After debuting, T-ara almost never is able to spend holidays with their family.

Eunjung said, “The holiday season is for spending time with family but even when we’re at our schedules, I have that feeling return because of the spirit. This year is extra special because it’s the year of the dragon and that’s my year. Happy New Year to everyone who was born in ’88!”

Soyeon said, “This year, I’ll become the fourth leader. For the new year, I hope that T-ara can receive a lot of love and good news. I’m excited to move forward.”

Hwayoung said, “During New Year, between me and my twin sister, the money received was always different. Sometimes we would get three times different amount and Hyoyoung unnie would glance at me and try to take it. I remember we would act miserable and end up splitting it evenly in the end.”

For this new year, T-ara said, “With some family members and members from our agency, we’ll all eat together and make rice cakes. Hyomin will make the crab dishes, and Boram and Jiyeon will make the meat.”

Last August, T-ara released their retro “Roly-Poly” song and then in early November, followed up with “Cry Cry”. At the end of December, they released a ballad with their label-mate Davichi, “We Used To Love”. All of these releases were placed in the #1 spot of the charts and received a lot of love from fans.

T-ara came back with “Lovey-Dovey” earlier this year and once again were at the top of the charts. Over the last six months, T-ara have had four consecutive #1 hit songs, showing off their new potential and strength. Even now, “Lovey-Dovey” is in the top 10 of all the music charts.

T-ara didn’t want to forget to show their appreciation towards their fans who love their music and support them.

Soyeon said, “Right now is when we are suffering the most since our debut. Until April, our schedule is full. Our members depend on drinks and vitamins since we don’t get sleep, but the things our fans say to us and how they encourage us, it’s very encouraging to us.”

She continued by saying, “As quick as we can, we wanted to show off good songs we made. We’re worried that maybe the fans would have became bored or tired by us having a lot of new song releases, but luckily, we’re thankful to our fans who continue to support us happily.”

On an ending note, T-ara said, “As soon as we finish with our ‘Lovey-Dovey’ activities, we plan to go to Japan to spread our K-pop. I hope that we’ll be able to progress further and for people to notice our commitment and efforts.”
